Unix domain sockets

Hello,

I am currently implementing a D-BUS binding
(http://github.com/blitz/cl-dbus) that needs a networking compatibility
layer with support for TCP and local sockets. Not having to write
implementation-dependent code to achieve this would be quite beneficial
to the project.

I'd like to ask, if there is any interest in integrating Unix domain
sockets (AF_LOCAL) or Linux' abstract socket hack into usocket. 

Regards,

Well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier to
program in C is that you can't easily express complex problems in C,
so you don't. - Erik Naggum (in comp.lang.lisp)

I think usocket is supposed to be a portable layer on top of what Lisp
implementations offer. Whereas IOLib is supposed to provide you
finer-grained access to what your OS offers.

Take a look at IOLib at

  http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib/

it already comes with what you need.

Yes there is.  Check this thread:

Patch for ECL version 8.12

ECL removed cl_alloc_atomic back in October, before the 8.12 release;
this was then already an deprecated alias for ecl_alloc_atomic.  The
attached patch also gives find its required argument, and adds "*.o"
to match files generated by ECL.
